Smile in a day

You can get Smile in a day finance from Yorkshire Dental Suite. We are able to shop the market on your behalf, connecting you with the best lender for your individual circumstances even if you have bad credit.

You can get treatment similar to Smile in a day abroad; however, with the reduced cost comes increased risk. In the BBC documentary ‘Turkey Teeth: Bargain Smiles or Big Mistake?’, they contacted over 1,000 overseas dentists to determine if overseas implants were good value. 40% of the replies recommended unnecessary or mis-sold treatments, causing major concerns if you’re thinking of undergoing this treatment.

We have first-hand experience in correcting smile in a day treatments conducted overseas and have found that:

• Treatments use low grade titanium implants that corrode
• Treatments are completed in a week or two before your gums have time to heal
• Most UK dentists will not provide treatments for people who have had Turkey teeth

This means:

• You will potentially need to replace your implants in just five years, instead of the "lifetime" claimed by overseas dentists
• That within the 20 years you would expect implants to last, you will have spent roughly the same amount as if you had your treatment completed in the UK… without all the hassle!

Treatment is worth it if you want to replace pain with the sensation of enjoying a juicy steak, gammon or lamb, apples or burgers, and have the confidence to smile without covering your mouth or hiding your teeth. What’s more, this treatment fills out your face, reducing lines and puckering that can make you look older.

No surgical procedure is without risk. To make sure our patients have the best possible information and a well-rounded view of the process, the following highlights some dangers of one day dental implant treatments:

1. Implant treatments that are completed in a few weeks can lead to implants becoming unstable, causing your treatment to fail. Yorkshire Dental Suite typically wait for up to four months before completing the treatment, allowing your implants to fuse with your jawbone.

2. In rare circumstances, having implants will cause bone loss as not every tooth is supported by an implant.

3. Implants require maintenance and should be thoroughly cleaned. Failing to do so can cause complication such as gum disease. Make sure you brush and floss twice a day, paying particular attention to where the bridge meets your gums.

1. E-consultation: a member of the Yorkshire Dental Suite onboarding team will call you to discuss your treatment options, make a cursory diagnosis and check you are eligible for treatment.
2. In person consultation and health check: visiting your local YDS implant centre you will have CT scans, X-rays and photographs, while also discussing your treatment and finance options before a customised plan is created.
3. Remedial work, if you need any work before your implant procedure this will be completed.

Implant procedure:

1. Sedation and anaesthesia; you will be sedated to keep you in a dream-like state and pain-free while your procedure continues.
2. Teeth removal, all of your existing teeth are extracted.
3. Gum preparation - we expose your jawbone.
4. Implantation; pilot holes are drilled into each jaw and grade 5 titanium implants secured to your bone.
5. Abutments are secured to your implants and your gums sewn up.
6. Temporary bridge: temporary acrylic arches are secured to your abutments.

Recovery:

1. Recovery, you are sent home the same day, allowing your gums to heal and to ensure the implants have fully knitted with your jawbone.
2. A wax model of your final teeth is trial fit and any modifications made.
3. Final fitting: your final arches are fit, giving you your new perfect and long-lasting smile in a day teeth.

To be eligible for Smile in a day:

• A majority of your teeth should be missing, damaged or loose
• You should have given up smoking
• A dentist has told you there is a high chance of your teeth falling out
• Any heart issues have been cleared by your doctor
• Any diabetes issues have been cleared by your doctor
• If your teeth are loose or if you have any existing oral health problems, this has been treated

If you have bone loss your options are:

• Bone graft - donor bone is attached to your bone and allowed to knit, creating a secure anchor point for a dental implant
• Pterygoid implants - these implants bypass bone loss, securing to bones higher up in your jaw
• Zygomatic implants - these implants bypass bone loss, securing to bones higher up in your jaw

Dental implants can potentially make you look younger as they fill out your mouth, reducing lines around your lips and stopping your lips from puckering. The implants can also fill out your cheeks, giving the appearance of a more youthful face.

Smile in a day vs individual implants

Treatment uses a minimum of just four dental implants on each jaw, reducing the surgery required and speeding up the procedure. A full arch is secured, giving you a broad, natural-looking smile in just one appointment.

An individual tooth implant replaces each tooth individually, requiring extensive surgery and long recovery times. This makes teeth implants more expensive and increases the surgical risk; however, individual implants can reduce the risk of bone loss.

Smile in a day vs porcelain veneers

Treatment replaces broken, missing and damaged teeth and is more expensive.

Porcelain veneers require healthy teeth as a base and is less expensive than implants. Veneers cannot be applied to missing teeth.

Smile in a day vs dental crowns

Treatment replaces broken, missing and damaged teeth and is more expensive.

A dental crown requires a healthy tooth root as a base and is less expensive than implants. Crowns cannot be applied to missing teeth.
